"I am in a place where execution can only destroy your physical form but because of my faith in God, my family and all of you I have been spiritually free for some time and no matter what happens in the days, weeks to come, this Movement to end the death penalty, to seek true justice, to expose a system that fails to protect the innocent must be accelerated. There are so many more Troy Davis'. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe."-Troy Anthony Davis

As I shared in a previous comment, some of you are miserable and FULL of hatred.

Troy Anthony Davis (RIP) is no longer here and you’re still UPSET. Why? Do you envy that he and his family fight for justice had such an impact on countless, DIVERSE (all races, gender, social classes, etc...) people around the WORLD? Are you concerned that it’s a STRONG possibility GA murdered an innocent man? Are you furious he wasn’t angry when he transitioned on September 21st but offered forgiveness? PLEASE check your heart.

@Caddyshack, please know NUMEROUS of news outlets (ajc.com, cnn.com, msnbc.com, abc.com, cbs.com, myfoxatlanta.com...just Google Troy Anthony Davis) have an interest in this case.....The State of Georgia Executed a Man with TOO MUCH DOUBT!

RIP Troy Anthony Davis

Savannah Police Officer Mark MacPhail. Policeman, former US Army Ranger, husband, father, son. What were HIS last words as he was coming to assist a man being beaten by thugs? "Please dont shoot me, I have a wife and daughter, and an infant son". Please dont shoot me, Im too young to die. " Please dont shoot me, Im just doing my job". "Please dont shoot me, have mercy". "Please dont shoot me, you dont have to do this". Did he say any of those things, as he lay mortally wounded on the pavement, seconds before Troy Anthony Davis administered the coup de gras, a shot to the face of the fallen officer. One can only hope that he was in shock and didnt realize what was about to happen. At least convicted, let me say that once more for clarity for those who dont seem to understand, CONVICTED murderer Troy Anthony Davis was afforded the opportunity to say his goodbyes and say his prayers. Officer Mark MacPhail wasnt so fortunate.

when did TAD allow you to speak for him. I am curious if you are one of those psychics like whoopi in the movie ghost. do dead people speak to you and if so what does my grandfather think of last weekends dinner conversation.

so then tell me oh wise one if i kill someone in cold blood like TAD was found guilty of then I goto heaven or hell. Thankfully Cal Naughton Jr lives his life a quarter mile at a time so I won't have no surprises in the end like you buckwheat!

For what reason. First of all none of you miserable souls are God so your forgiveness didn't, won't or never well matter. Cause harboring the feelings you have towards him will only eat you alive. Second of all of you need to get off your high horse cause no one walking this earth right now isn't guilty of doing something wrong in life.

This is another attempt to circumvent the finial verdict with mis- guided and mis- informed public opinion(s) the truth is that the S.M.N. Is not mandated to share public opinion but rather the news. I can remember a time when their mandate was to inform the public not incite them. This is a poorly veiled attempt to pander to the black community. The news is that a convicted killer was 1st convicted and 2nd executed. These are the facts of the case and they are undisputed. Every thing else is pure conjecture. I say to the press shame on you.... you are no different then the tabloids.

You couldn't possibly be any more fed up than I am with all this TAD garbage. To clarify my post for you, it is my opinion that he should have begged for forgiveness from MacPhail's family and God. Those are the ones ones that count. The MacPhail family suffered needlessly because of TAD's actions.

As far as harboring the feelings I have for TAD, seriously when I read that, I laughed out loud. He's paid the consequences for his ignorant and criminal action in murdering Mark MacPhail. I'm only sorry it took so long for his sentence to be carried out. There are no feeling left to harbor. It is what it is. I can move on, and count this one as a victory for the justice system, but people like you and the rest of the ill-informed supporters can't accept the fact that a cold blooded thug murderer got what was coming to him. He's dead! Move on.

Since TAD is now rotting away where it is very, very hot. I'm satisfied with the outcome. What really bothers me is the clueless people that fed off of the NAACP, Amnesty International and Davis family's propaganda. Read some actual facts and transcripts of the trial and subsequent appeals and Pardons and Parole Hearings where actual FACTS were presented. Recognize that these so-called recanters didn't recant in a legal setting and when TAD was given the last chance in Federal Court last Summer, he and his Attorneys FAILED to provide any evidence that truly remotely suggested his innocence. Why was that? Oh yeah, that's right, because he was GUILTY!

Move on. Spend your time wisely. Be a Big Brother, Big Sister or Mentor to some kid living a less than optimal life. Try to make a difference in that child's life to steer them away from a life or crime and recidivism. If you have the time, try to do that with a few kids. If all the TAD supporters put as much effort into trying to steer the youth of today into the right path, it's possible they could make a difference. However as it is, they are wasting their time and spinning their wheels. TAD is DEAD and you will not get a RIP from me for him. However, I will be happy to shout out a RIH TAD!

I can only speak for myself, but TAD is not in my heart and never has been. I would have gladly strapped him on that gurney and given him the lethal injections.

Like I said earlier, read some actual facts. After doing that, spend your time trying to save some kid headed for a life of crime. You gotta get them very early these days though, so you probably should start with some elementary kids.

In the words of my deceased FAMILY MEMBER Troy Davis: GOD BLESS YOU. I've had enough of entertaining ignorance for one night. And by the way you won't hear me say Rest in Peace either cause he found that before he left this earth!

@FedUpAllReady....THANK YOU for not wasting your time and entertaining the negative comments. I really admire how your family is remaining calm in the midst of it all. May God continue to give you & your family strength, joy, and peace beyond your imagination! He’s Able!

Why didn't you admit to be a FAMILY MEMBER of TAD aka RAH with your other post? It's very possible my response would have been a lot harsher (while still trying to maintain SMN's TOS). Yeah right! NOT! An Abuse Warning means nothing to me other than some wimpy person didn't like what I had to say. Big deal!

You want to see IGNORANCE? Look in the mirror! You'll find it staring back at you. I don't care what you or any other of TAD's family CHOOSES to believe. He killed someone in cold blooded murder, regardless of whether it was a Police Officer in uniform or not, he still did it.

It's not my fault all of you can't admit it and accept the fact that he's where he needs to be, in the fire down below.

Personally, I'm sick of hearing and reading about your thug FAMILY MEMBER. His sentence should have been carried out years ago. I can get over that though. It was carried out FINALLY. That's all that matters.

As the saying goes, IGNORANCE IS BLISS. Oh, is that your family portrait showing with this saying?

Is that you standing on the sidelines of the Davis family portrait by the saying of IGNORANCE IS BLISS? I thought so.

Read the real facts of the case. Stop relying on the NAACP and AI to give you a less than truthful and one-sided view of the facts. Neither one care if he was actually GUILTY. Both have their agendas and neither one of the agendas involved actual GUILT. It is so terribly sad when people can't think for them selves and therefore are unable come to a rational conclusion.

And I assume you’re insinuating, Former FBI Director William Sessions (under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton); Six retired corrections officials, including Dr. Allen Ault, retired Director of the Georgia Department of Corrections and former Warden of the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison , and countless others are IGNORANT as well. Nevertheless, I hope you will be able to look in the mirror and find peace with yourself. And remember, “Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.”-Lucius Annaeus Seneca

He got the surprise of his life when he was executed. His family also got the surprise of their lives too.

In the end, Satan got him just like he'd set out to do so many years before and finally staked his claim on August 19, 1989. I guess he didn't really find all that the media has claimed he found. If he had, he'd still be sitting in prison wasting tax dollars.

The truth is, you don't have any direct knowledge of where TAD's soul has gone wither. It's my opinion versus yours.

Your words are wasted on me. What I believe is that TAD's body and soul are burning in the fire down below.

Haven't I already made it extremely plain to you that I don't care what you think about me or what I post? Your opinion means zilch, zero, null to me. What I think about you would surely raise a few eyebrows.

The fact that I continue to post what you call "hateful, hurtful comments about Troy" is because the uninformed keeps posting their propaganda and the media keeps exploiting the long overdue execution of a cold blooded murder.

Yes, you have told me what you think of me. Since I don't know you and you mean nothing to me, I really don't care what you think of me. Mostly I ignore your posts, as I am sure you do mine. Occasionally, I slip up and read one of yours and the overwhelming negativity prompts me to respond.

As to the issues related to Troy, I never said that I know where Troy's soul is now. I don't. Only God and Troy know that.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion about it and have made it abundantly clear what that is. The question is why you feel so compelled to post it over and over again. Exactly what are you trying to accomplish by putting the "hateful, hurtful comments" about Troy on this message board at this point?

I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger. Shake and Bake!!!!!!!! don't mess with this nascar lovin pbr guzzlin limousine ridin kiss the girls stealin wheelin dealin son of a gun WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

answer away. please tell me all about heaven and hell and how it is decided who goes where. also if you don't mind tell me what are we suppose to tell my jewish friends since they don't believe in hell.

You get to heaven by way of forgiveness and you get forgiveness by way of Christ. You can tell your Jewish friends whatever you want but they can refer to the scriptures of the Old Testament for guidance. Are any of them Messianic Jews by chance? BTW, are you forgiven "little buddy"?

as i stated before i live my life a quarter mile at a time. And i would never tell a jew to read the old testament for guidance. i will allow them to be learn from their torah not a bible nor will they need to ask jesus for forgiveness. are they messianic jews or jews for jesus or as i call them fake jews. these friends are 100% orthodox jews. that being said i bet their ancestors never asked to be forgiven for killing jesus.

Big man like Andre the Giant or Shaq. So tell me something why is it because I have different beliefs than you I must not know anything. I guess your right since there could be nothing different from the torah or the old testament. they are the same according to you but I bet according to Jewish people there is a difference in the two books.

If he repented and truly asked God for forgiveness through Christ then yes I do believe he was forgiven. This is hard for you to wrap your mind around isn’t it? We all need forgiveness friend and we will all go to the same place if we don’t get it.

I never said that you didn’t know anything; after all you know that I’m Buckwheat right? The Torah is a part of the Old Testament scriptures and if you want to know if your Jewish friends believe the Old Testament then just ask them, maybe you’ll learn something. BTW, if you are interested in the Hebrew translation you can still find the OT in Hebrew, so go for it.

Since I am pretty sure one of the fundamental differences between the two religions is the fact that the Jews do not consider Jesus to be the son of god then how are they to ask Andre the Giant aka the Big Man for forgiveness. So if I wanted to go on a murderous spree I just gotta asks the Big Fundamental for forgiveness and I get to hold the tv remote in heaven. Now that this has been settled whats alfalfa and spanky up to

I'm so sorry that I do not understand why I have to follow your fundamentalist beliefs and merely beg to differ about your heaven and hell thoughts. btw the he mans woman haters club is quite offensive.
